The single most puzzling question no one has answered about Galactica’s triumphant return is why did it come back? When I explain the history to people, it still boggles my mind: it was on for one season thirty years ago. One. On top of that, it was never very popular and no one – not even the fans – regard it as high art. Yet it retained enough of a dedicated, passionate following to insure that one day she would return.
But why? What kept that mediocre one-season-wonder so near and dear to my heart that seeing it come back was literally a dream come true? I think the answer boils down to one word: Cheeseburgers.
